I really like it that you are mixing up the events a little. While I like saber play and the fast paced nature of HU, I also like variety. By giving a blaster only HvV event and a trooper only weekend it also includes the players that feel left out because they aren’t fans of saber play or the inclusion of heroes in the large scale modes.

Nicely done!

Only thing I am not sure of is how HvV will work with the limited availability of blaster heroes. I guess there will be no character switching and I suppose we will just have to see how that goes.

On the Boots on the Ground Event, this appears to be trying to appease the Trooper-only crowd for a weekend, but leaves in the reinforcements. I'm pretty confident I will enjoy CS ground phase more this way. I'll probably try to play OT and ST content in GA as those maps don't have infiltrators. Enforcers and aerials don't bother me as much as most of the Trooper-only crowd.

I hate to be the cynic in the room but is the reason for the delay of the Community Calendar that you had to remove the Luke Skin challenge? Because it is...kinda missing.

Nope, the delay was literally because we were behind a little after Gamescom, it is always a weird time around July>September time.

The reason why the Luke Skin challenge isn't in this Community Calendar is that Ben had written it incorrectly in the Community Transmission for September when it was always intended to be October, sorry for the confusion with that.

Disappointed with the "Boots on the Ground Event." It's a great idea and I like it, but working on Finn's Head Shots milestone and Boba's Triple Rocket Barrage milestone, and no way to earn them while the event is active. Looks like Co-Op will allow XP though (as there is a 3X XP event for the mode), so maybe we will be able to achieve milestones that way? Will Co-Op allow us to be matched with randoms, or will we have to pull people off our friends list and party up before connecting?

Will Instant Action allow for XP/Milestone completion? Looking forward to the CTs that explain everything.

Would love to get Split-Screen on PC so my son and I could play BF2 together.. I know a few mods enable it and it looks like you guys just ripped it out of the PC game. WHY DO DEV's DO THAT when you already have it implemented. We end up playing other games that have Co-Op on PC I can't see why this is a feature PC players don't get..

And yes I'm salty about many games not just BF2 lol but I know this game has support for so turn it back on. plz and thx

I literally know so many people that would play this game with me if it had crossplay with Xbox and PS4. This update sounds good though. I remember in the old Battlefront II, Instant Action was literally all I ever played lol.

Please bring back Leia's Princess appearance instead or at least along side Luke appearance when you release it.

I mean I want Luke skin as well but if we can't have it yet then please bring Leia's skin back... and well I wan't Leia's Princess skin more than that Luke skin. Actually rather let everyone get Leia's Princess skin with credits (although I would be fine to pay real money for that skin) when ever they want it.

So for the blasters only HvV event, does that mean Palpatine will also be playable, or will the Dark Side be restricted to just Boba, Bossk, Iden, and Phasma? He doesn't have a blaster, but he was excluded from the sabers only event last time, so not sure if he would therefore be included in this one.

Interesting, why is this only being mention now?

I have a bad feeling about this. Being away 2 weekends in October, gives me a 50:50 chance of being around for the challenge.

Not really. It's just another "let's restrict content and call it an event" event, like @Empire_TW always rails against. These are absolutely not "real" events. Real events would be something like "Target System weekend" or "6v6 HvV" or "additional star card slot weekend" or "Extraction with Heroes weekend".

Not "addition by subtraction".

I have to agree. Any “event” should be an optional participation setup, with the standard game rulesets still available.

Still serious bug fix is needed!
Honestly I wouldn't mind wait a little bit longer for content if all the game breaking bugs are fixed.
(not to mention that almost every content drop came with serious bugs/issues)
Please guys focus on Bug Fix!!

Leia is good, Lando is good, Rey is good (unless something new in Ep9), Kylo Ren is good (unless something new in Ep9), Bossk is good, Iden is good, Yoda is good, Grievous is good, and Count Dooku is good to go with the appearances we have (unless someone can think of something cool for them).

Han and Finn in Stormtrooper would be super easy to do, as would the Battle Damaged Vader/Phasmas. I want my Luke's...

Extraction 100% doesn't ever need heroes, it needs 2 more maps.

You're missing the point. I'm pointing out ways that they can hold limited time events that actually bring new experiences that we haven't had before. "Let's killswitch half the characters" isn't exciting or innovative to many of us. Maps have nothing to do with the point here. Un-killswitching heroes in Extraction for 2 days would most assuredly provide a new experience that none of us have had. You know it would be a simple thing for them.

I don't get paid to be a game designer (or a QA tester, for that matter) but I can come up with better ideas for events than the guys who do.
